NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 09 Hi everybody,I was very happy about our Taizémeeting! So many of us praying, serving and welcoming others, in other parishes and at Sandgatan! Really a happy time to live, that serving each other creates community and friendship, that is: makes the presence of Jesus real to us. And the singing! – hopefully we can sing more, and Christine will certainly help us, look at the program.With this Sunday29th of November we starttime of Advent – time for waiting, time of hope and faith. The portal figure of Advent is John the Baptist anouncing the coming of Messiah, and in the Gospel readings we hear about him.
Often Advent tends to be a busy time. Take time though to live something of this waiting – some silent time in the evening or in the morning is a good thing, to read a little passage about John or from the book of Isaiah, f ex from chapter 40.During time of Christmas there will be no scheduled activities. We, the dominican brothers will go to spend some time with our brothers from Norway and Finland and do some studying together. So: no Masses and Sandgatan from Dec 24th to Jan 10th..Could wedo something together during summertime next year. I´ve got two ideas:
–going for a week in June to Istanbul, staying with the Dominican brothers, and having a program around cultural clashes, religious clashes, living faith in Christ among believers of another religions (secular…muslim…). I can tell you: it would be very interesting.
– spending a week at the island of Gotland in August, before the start of the semester – time of retreat, but also of just being there together. It´s a beautiful place not far from the sea, and we, the Dominicans, dispose of a little house that can be used for such occasions.
For both of these travels we could, I think, obtain financial aid, if we decide early. So think about it!see you, yours, brother Björn
